1*de1e4e89SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker 2*de1e4e89SAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerHere are a few quick points about DECnet support... 3*de1e4e89SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker 4*de1e4e89SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker o iproute2 is the tool of choice for configuring the DECnet support for 5*de1e4e89SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker Linux. For many features, it is the only tool which can be used to 6*de1e4e89SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker configure them. 7*de1e4e89SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker 8*de1e4e89SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker o No name resolution is available as yet, all addresses must be 9*de1e4e89SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker entered numerically. 10*de1e4e89SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker 11*de1e4e89SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker o Remember to set the hardware address of the interface using: 12*de1e4e89SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker 13*de1e4e89SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker ip link set ethX address xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx 14*de1e4e89SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker (where xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx is the MAC address for your DECnet node 15*de1e4e89SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker address) 16*de1e4e89SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker 17*de1e4e89SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker if your Ethernet card won't listen to more than one unicast 18*de1e4e89SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker mac address at once. If the Linux DECnet stack doesn't talk to 19*de1e4e89SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker any other DECnet nodes, then check this with tcpdump and if its 20*de1e4e89SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker a problem, change the mac address (but do this _before_ starting 21*de1e4e89SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker any other network protocol on the interface) 22*de1e4e89SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker 23*de1e4e89SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker o Whilst you can use ip addr add to add more than one DECnet address to an 24*de1e4e89SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker interface, don't expect addresses which are not the same as the 25*de1e4e89SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker kernels node address to work properly with 2.4 kernels. This should 26*de1e4e89SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker be fine with 2.6 kernels as the routing code has been extensively 27*de1e4e89SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker modified and improved. 28*de1e4e89SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker 29*de1e4e89SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker o The DECnet support is currently self contained. It does not depend on 30*de1e4e89SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker the libdnet library. 31*de1e4e89SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker 32*de1e4e89SAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerSteve Whitehouse <[email protected]> 33*de1e4e89SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker 34
